A new episode of The Education Podcast is out this week focusing on faith-based schools. It features two guests of the Islamic and Christian religions.
The duo of Mr Abdulhafeez Animashaun and Mr Nnamnso Okorie share their combined experiences of over three decades managing schools in line with promoting the dictates of their respective faiths.
Of the highpoints of this episode is the guests discussing how they have been balancing religious teachings with academic curriculum.
They noted its importance for providing a holistic education that nurtures moral values alongside intellectual growth.
The episode also discusses the engagement of parents in their children’s education and spiritual development.
The guests added that this fosters a supportive learning environment and strengthens the school community.
The quest for cost-effectiveness in the management of faith-based schools also got a mention.
The guests emphasised that cost-effectiveness can be a challenge for faith-based and low cost schools due to limited resources, but collaboration and strategic partnerships can help overcome this obstacle.
They also advocated adapting to evolving changes in education through technological integration, global perspectives, and collaboration is crucial for the future success of faith-based and local schools.
